As you can see, the bulk of the country will see the Baltimore Ravens against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Both teams are battling to win their respective divisions, so there’s a lot on the line.
The game between the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans also draws a fairly large amount of coverage as well. As far as the single late game on CBS goes, the Denver Broncos vs. San Francisco 49ers game will be shown heavily on the West Coast.

The bulk of the country will see the NFC East battle between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys in the late game. There are a few scattered local areas who’ll see the other two games, but the Eagles-Cowboys matchup has major playoff implications. If Dallas wins this game, they could wrap the weekend with a big edge in the division, but if Philadelphia wins then it could be a tight final three weeks.
